Not sure why this CBS crew keeps referencing how great Pitt is on defense. Not even top 25 on KenPom on D.

Early defensive breakdowns for Florida again. Billy D making some quick subs at the next whistle.
— Dan Wolken (@DanWolken) March 22, 2014
Lamar Patterson interior passing in full effect
— Eamonn Brennan (@eamonnbrennan) March 22, 2014
If Will Yeguete really has become Bill Walton on offense, give the title to Florida now. Where did that come from?
— John Gasaway (@JohnGasaway) March 22, 2014
Pittsburgh is doing an excellent job of locking down Frazier.
— Matt Zemek (@MattZemek) March 22, 2014
Loving the defensive matchups and athleticism inside of this #Florida #Pittsburgh game!!!
— Allie LaForce (@ALaForce) March 22, 2014
Florida leads by one at the first TV timeout. Both teams playing well, being aggressive.
— Jerry Palm (@jppalmCBS) March 22, 2014
Nice flow here so far, surprisingly. Florida 7, Pitt 6. 14:50 1H. Foul called on Talib Zanna first of the game.
— Chris Dobbertean (@ChrisDobbertean) March 22, 2014
Pittsburgh is going to have to knock down outside shots. Florida is going to make it a nightmare to score on the interior.

It's early….but part of me wonders if Pitt could be that hot tournament team no one saw coming. It's also hard to win 28 straight. #Gators

Has Prince claimed paternity of Scottie Wilbekin yet?
— Medium Happy (@jdubs88) March 22, 2014
Finally figured out who Wilbekin reminds me of: the dick basketball player from Finding Forrester.
— Mike Rutherford (@CardChronicle) March 22, 2014
I mean…was Wilbekin actually in Finding Forrester and we didn't know about it? pic.twitter.com/2Nlon1EJWY

Love the R32 tip-off game with no other simultaneous action. Back in the day it seemed like Duke was always in this game.
— John Gasaway (@JohnGasaway) March 22, 2014
Right, 1.10 in ACC. RT @iracane earlier, CBS showed a stat that said Pitt scores 0.96 points per possession. That can’t be true, right?
— John Gasaway (@JohnGasaway) March 22, 2014
Better find that Frazier II kid. #Shooter #Maker

Not saying the TV Timeouts in the NCAA are too long, but the managers are hustling cots out on the floor for the huddle instead of stools.
— Bob Walsh (@CoachBobWalsh) March 22, 2014
No surprises here so far. Slugfest. Tied at 15-15, 6:14 left in half. Both teams have missed some makeable shots.
— Dan Wolken (@DanWolken) March 22, 2014
Pitt playing right with Florida, and this is without much scoring from Patterson. Panthers will be in this one the whole way.
— Jeff or Jeffrey Fann (@TalkinACCSports) March 22, 2014
Florida getting a lot of its production off the offensive glass/second chances — Pittsburgh sharing the ball. Five assists on seven FGs.
— Jeff Borzello (@jeffborzello) March 22, 2014
Florida rotates into gaps so effectively. Very few open areas.
— Jeff Borzello (@jeffborzello) March 22, 2014
Settle things down here guys, don't get desperate.
— Victory Lights (@VictoryLights) March 22, 2014
Florida's offense can't be Wilbekin dribbles around until he shoots
— Jerry Palm (@jppalmCBS) March 22, 2014
Pittsburgh can stick with Florida if it keeps playing well. Problem for the Panthers all year has been finishing games against elite teams.
— SB Nation CBB (@SBNationCBB) March 22, 2014
Those steals by Hill provide a clue as 2 why Florida is 4 real. He's the back-up. POY Wilbekin goes out – and in some ways Fla gets better.
— Rex Chapman (@rex_rexchapman) March 22, 2014
Wilbekin has been on Patterson and held him to 1-5 shooting, two points.
— Jerry Palm (@jppalmCBS) March 22, 2014
Patterson just got kneeled on in that scrum. One on his head, one on his chest. #ouchie

So weird seeing Florida with a Saturday lead on CBS
— Ben Swain (@TheBenSwain) March 22, 2014
Florida is good – but not shaking Pitt. Two very good coaches in this game. Pitt's just rock solid.
— Rex Chapman (@rex_rexchapman) March 22, 2014
3.5 seconds left, you have 3 fouls to give. FOUL HIM two more times, clock runs out.

Assassin's Creed: Scottie Wilbekin
— Ryan Nanni (@celebrityhottub) March 22, 2014
And Scottie Wilbekin just about brings the house down with a buzzer-beater. At the half, Florida 27, Pitt 22.
— Chris Dobbertean (@ChrisDobbertean) March 22, 2014
That was some sexy shit

Florida's starting backcourt outscoring Pittsburgh's backcourt, 14-0.

Patric Young = #Brick #Shit #House
— Rex Chapman (@rex_rexchapman) March 22, 2014
Cameron Wright is 0-for-5 from the field. He was knocking down the mid-range shot against Colorado.
— Dan Wolken (@DanWolken) March 22, 2014
And here it goes…
— bryan (@bryaninpgh) March 22, 2014
Gators imposing their will now. Forcing turnovers, getting offensive rebounds. Leading 32-24 with 17:37 left. Pitt timeout.
— Dan Wolken (@DanWolken) March 22, 2014
Little bit of danger time now for Pittsburgh. Panthers are really struggling to get anything going on the offensive end.
— Jeff Borzello (@jeffborzello) March 22, 2014
Young not exactly automatic on the one-footers today.
— John Gasaway (@JohnGasaway) March 22, 2014
Pitt has made four field goals since the 9:09 mark of the first half.
— Jeff Borzello (@jeffborzello) March 22, 2014
Patric Young is hosting a Block Party and you're invited.

Patric Young's arms make me produce estrogen.

Not true. Sometimes you can escape The Terminator. RT @LakeRosenberg: Patrick Young is The Terminator.
— Ryan Nanni (@celebrityhottub) March 22, 2014
Yeah, the wheels are starting to fall off now.
— Victory Lights (@VictoryLights) March 22, 2014
Call timeout.
— Raphielle Johnson (@raphiellej) March 22, 2014
Just an incredible defensive hustle play by Wilbekin, leads to a transition dunk for Young. 34-24 and this thing is on the verge.
— Dan Wolken (@DanWolken) March 22, 2014
Patric Young has pieces of the rim stuck in his teeth and he's going to use a random Pitt player's femur as a toothpick.
— Adam Jacobi (@Adam_Jacobi) March 22, 2014
Keep saying it, but can't overemphasize. All effort plays. 50-50 balls, rebounds, deflections.
— Matt Hayes (@MattHayesCFB) March 22, 2014
Cloverfield is actually Patric Young's highlight tape from middle school.

Patric Young 2-of-9. It's like he's being guarded by Patric Young.
— John Gasaway (@JohnGasaway) March 22, 2014
Will Yeguete! Sure is nice when ALL of YOUR players KNOW HOW TO PLAY. Instincts are everything.
— Rex Chapman (@rex_rexchapman) March 22, 2014
Pitt won by 29 on Thursday. Almost 30 minutes into the game today, they have yet to score 29

@SethDavisHoops Noticed that when I did "Scouting Title Contenders." A lot of coaches were, "Well you can zone them, they don't shoot well."
— Jeff Borzello (@jeffborzello) March 22, 2014
Another timely 3 by Wilbekin. His 25,637th of the season. It’s 45-31 now.
— Dan Wolken (@DanWolken) March 22, 2014
Topical. RT @marchmadness BREAKING: Scottie does know. #MarchMadness
— SB Nation CBB (@SBNationCBB) March 22, 2014
Not sure if Wright was passing or shooting on that last play.
— Jerry Palm (@jppalmCBS) March 22, 2014
Pitt is now up to 0.80 PPP. Their season low was 0.83 PPP in that 44-43 loss to Cincinnati that almost broke the internet.
— Jeff (BPredict) (@BPredict) March 22, 2014
After all that, Pitt only trails by 8.
— Dan Wolken (@DanWolken) March 22, 2014
Scottie Wilbekin is unbelievable in late-clock, late-game situations. Killer.
— Jeff Borzello (@jeffborzello) March 22, 2014
That's your SEC player of the year.
— Matt Hayes (@MattHayesCFB) March 22, 2014
Wilbekin's body was all wrong, but the shot was all right.
— Jerry Palm (@jppalmCBS) March 22, 2014
Scottie Wilbekin has been unbelievable today. Gators' D will be the reason they win, but Wilbekin is the reason Pitt's not coming back.
— Jason Guerette (@JPGuerette) March 22, 2014
"Wilbekin dribbling for 17 seconds and then creating" has been highly effective. Key side-benefit: short scouting report by opponents.
— John Gasaway (@JohnGasaway) March 22, 2014
Just a reminder: Scottie Wilbekin and Kasey Hill are 1st/2nd on the Gators in assists/G, steals/G. Florida is undefeated when both play.
— David Hess (@AudacityOfHoops) March 22, 2014
Florida's issue is its defense stuffs you for stretches but the offense doesn't always extend the lead.
— Mark Ennis (@MarkEnnis) March 22, 2014
Four straight baskets for Wilbekin, all late in the shot clock. That’ll do.
— Dan Wolken (@DanWolken) March 22, 2014
young got rid of the ball & set a screen he didn't have to do either but he bought the team like 10 seconds before pitt could foul
— martin rickman (@martinrickman) March 22, 2014
FINAL: Florida 61, Pittsburgh 45. The Gators are the first team in the Sweet 16.
